The record
A twelve-foot section in the museum of the president who opened relations with Moscow and Beijing, displayed beside a German flag.
A twelve-foot section stands in the museum, shown with a German flag. The argument the site makes is about détente rather than the fall: Nixon's presidency is remembered here for opening relations with Moscow and Beijing, and the segment is used as the endpoint of a policy rather than as the rubble of an event. It is one of four American presidential libraries in this catalogue holding a piece, alongside Kennedy, Ford and Bush.
